Pressure control of an electro-hydraulic actuated clutch via novel hysteresis model

This paper mainly focuses on the development of pressure tracking control logic of electro-hydraulic actuators for vehicle application. This is done to improve and ensure the performance of a precise lower-level controller for evolving modern shift control logic. The required performance is obtained by hysteresis model-based feed-forward control and additional feedback control. The hysteresis and the time delay, which adversely affect pressure control, are well known nonlinear behaviors in electro-hydraulic actuators. In order to cope with the hysteresis, a novel hysteresis model is proposed based on a physical phenomenon. A mathematical model based on a characteristic curve obtained in preliminary experiments is presented using only one tuning parameter, and this model can be inverted easily to construct a feed-forward controller. In addition, a feedback controller is designed considering the stability margin of a time delay system. The feedback control inputs ensure compensation of the feed-forward errors caused by model error and uncertainty. The proposed controller is designed to lower computational cost considering applicability for production vehicles. As a result, the developed pressure controller is applied to a transmission control unit of a production vehicle and verified experimentally for various driving scenarios.     

Effect of La doping on structural, magnetic and microstructural properties of Ba1 − x La x Fe12O19 ceramics prepared by citrate combustion process

La-substituted M-type barium ferrites, Ba_{1 − x} La _x Fe₁₂O₁₉, with x = 0.00–0.30 were successfully prepared via a citrate combustion process. Properties of the ceramics were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry and scanning electron microscopy. XRD patterns revealed only magnetoplumbite structure without minor phases. With increasing the La substituted content, the saturation magnetization (M _S ) was increased and reached to a maximum at x = 0.15 and then decreased but coercivity (H _C ) was increased. SEM micrographs of the dense ceramics showed the hexagonal platelet shape at low La content and the irregular shape at high La content.     

Affine Dependence Classification for Communications Minimization

This paper introduces results on placement and communications minimization for systems of affine recurrence equations. We show how to classify the dependences according to the number and nature of communications they may result in. We give both communication-free conditions and conditions for an efficient use of broadcast or neighbor-to-neighbor communication primitives. Since the dependences of a problem can generally not be all communication-free, we finally introduce a heuristic to globally minimize the communications based on the classification of dependences.     

Parallelization of WHILE loops on pipelined architectures

Modulo scheduling theory can be applied successfully to overlap Fortran DO loops on pipelined computers issuing multiple operations per cycle both with and without special loop architectural support. This paper shows that a broader class of loops—REPEAT-UNTIL, WHILE, and loops with more than one exit, in which the trip count is not known beforehand—can also be overlapped efficiently on multiple-issue pipelined machines. The approach is described with respect to a specific machine model, but it can be extended to other models. Special features in the architecture, as well as compiler representations for accelerating these loop constructs, are discussed. Performance results are presented for a few select examples.An earlier version of this paper was presented at Supercomputing '90.

A finite element parametric study on the mechanical properties of J-shaped steel hysteresis devices

The present paper discusses the mechanical properties of J-shaped steel hysteresis devices, abbreviated to “J-dampers”, interposed between the upper structure of a spatial structure and its substructure. The mechanical properties of a J-damper, which are characterized by its key geometrical and material parameters, are evaluated through parametric analyses using an in-house Finite Element program. The hysteresis behavior of a J-damper is also modeled by a bi-linear elasto-plastic hysteresis model with the strain-hardening effect. Its elastic stiffness, yield strength and dimensionless hardening ratio, which are expressed as functions of the parameters, are formulated on the basis of mathematical models and the results of parametric studies. Finally, some remarks relevant to the application of the proposed hysteresis model are made for the design of the J-damper.

Electromagnetic properties of ferroelectric-ferrite ceramic composites

The NiFe₂O₄ and Pb(Zr_0.52Ti_0.48)O₃ ceramic composites are prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The microstructural and morphological properties of the composites are studied by X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Results indicate that the ferrite and piezoelectric phases can co-exist in the composites. The relationship between the dielectric constant and frequency (40 Hz–40 MHz) as well as temperature is also investigated. It is noted that the transition temperature of the composites is about 380 °C. A double electric hysteresis loop is observed in our composites. The magnetic properties are relatively weak according to the magnetic hysteresis loop. With increase in the content of the ferrite phase, the permeability increases. The electromagnetic properties of the as-prepared composites are tunable according to the content of the NiFe₂O₄ phase.     

EIGENVECTORS-BASED PARALLELISATION OF NESTED LOOPS WITH AFFINE DEPENDENCES

Abstract

This paper presents a method for parallelising nested loops with affine dependences. The data dependences of a program are represented exactly using a dependence matrix rather than an imprecise dependence abstraction. By a careful analysis of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the dependence matrix, we detect the parallelism inherent in the program, partition the iteration space of the program into sequential and parallel regions, and generate parallel code to execute these regions. For a class of programs considered in the paper, the proposed method can expose more coarse-grain and fine-grain parallelism than a hyperplane-based loop transformation.
